A recent post from Soundtrails, Hamish Sewell’s Subsack:
Having run Soundtrails for thirteen years, I’m grateful how easy it is for us to straddle various divides—from audio/locative audio, to the academy, oral history, to sound design, and good ol’ heritage—and share our story with different people.
I was reminded of this when introduced recently to Josie Gibson who straddles Australia and runs the Catalyst Network. Josie is the Senior Industry Fellow at RMIT University’s FORWARD Centre and under the mantle of Catalyst, she’s drawing in around her, a very broad and very interesting group of people.
This became clear when I attended a couple of the Catalyst forums and was then invited to present some of her “accomplished change-makers and creative entrepreneurs.” Bringing together people from government, business, arts & culture to discuss ideas, to support each other and to inspire and network, Catalyst is filling a gap for creative souls like me who have broad portfolio. This gap is rarely addressed by the like of community arts centres or innovation hubs.
The following presentation is on Soundtrails, what I love about locative audio, and where we still have more to learn.
It’s 32-minute long and, I’m delighted to write, signals for me both finishing my PhD, and an opportunity to get back out there—wherever ‘there’ is—after a much-needed hiatus.
Note, while these presentations are usually kept under wraps and that the Q&A here is not included here (pity, as it was pretty solid), Josie’s allowed me to share this presentations.
